Two diverse topics today in our Platinum networking meeting, but both right on. Nancy DeYoung, Independent Insurance Agent, ended her talk by saying "Umbrella Insurance" is a must for people who own anything and I know for a fact she is right and it is very affordable. Paul Lyngso, owner and trainer of Burr Ridge Kettleball Club said it is not about "The Kettleball" his training is about over-all fitness. Start building a foundation and decide how you want to go from that point no matter what is your age.

It’s a proven fact, the video is burning up traditional marketing and digital media leads the way. Campaign strategists are investing more of their budgets into the internet and especially, realizing the reach of a good video. Alkaye Media has just completed this video for a candidate seeking to become a judge in Cook County. For a fraction of the cost of print, radio or TV, he now has a video to share in social media, email, on his website and even broadcast.
